You can't get it

I met a man all dressed in white
While walking down life's road
He was one of four
Who would not share his heavy load
Now Lennon is a superstar
Why did his planets die?
If mass equals velocity
He should be flying high
You don't always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want
When you want it, you can't get it

I met a man all dressed in black
While walking down life's road
He was one of five
One who cannot share his heavy load
Now Jagger is a superstar
Why did his planets die?
If mass equals velocity
He should be flying high

You don't always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want
And when you want it, you can't get it

I looked around upon that road
But I was all alone
The stars were bright above my head
But slowly changed their form
Now comets come and comets go
Defeated in the end
While stages light with spotlights bright
Another star ascends

You don't always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want, babe
You don't always get what you want
And when you want it, you can't get it
